This short film program includes the following films:
Poisoned Well
October 12, 2022 – a terrorist attack in Bratislava – the death of innocent LGBTI+ people – no political response. Film-requiem discusses the deteriorating state of society after the attack, as well as the intimate feelings of LGBTI+ people, including the author himself. Suppressed emotions cannot be filtered even on a self-defense course, where the participants do not belong, where they are forced to be because of their fear. A rotten well poisons society's opinions, which do not improve even after the attack. Do people really need to live in fear?
Daughters of the Fatherland
In 1968, Ines a homossexual 18 year old girl, seeks her emancipation through the student movement when she is forbidden from attending law school.
The Prince's Dilemma
The film follows Prince Philip, who longing to be with a prince of his own, must decide to follow the traditional tale expected of him or forge his own happily ever after.
Midnight on MSN
2008, beginning of summer, end of school. Laure is 13 years old. At night, she secretly talks to Alix on msn. But during the day, in their girls' school, she avoids her - like everyone else. When Laure invites Alix home after school, something changes between them.
All Boys Do

Forza, Rea!
In a hill-side village in Ticino, Rea wants to deliver a love letter to her crush. With her roller skates on, she rolls her way to her house. Before she can deliver the letter, however, it flies away downhill through the town. Rea embarks on a breakneck tumble through the village to catch the letter, dodging countless obstacles on the bumpy terrain of the old town streets, before finally delivering the letter.
